This is a free workshop the Billiken Angels Network (BAN) provides the community to help start-up entrepreneurs think about new or different sources for funding, and to get a bit more of an idea about what the different types of financing are looking for in candidates. The workshop's speaker is Dr. Jerome Katz, called the Godfather of St. Louis Startups, as well as being the Founder and Director of the Billiken Angel Network, and the head of SLU's nationally-ranked Entrepreneurship Program.

The promise this workshop has made over the years is that everyone will walk away with at least 10 new places to look for money, and audience response has proven this to be the case. Types of funding covered include angel investment, the 3 F's (friends, family and "folk"), government grants, tax credits, banks, microloan programs, and crowdfunding. Sources in Missouri and Illinois are covered, and the format leaves ample time for questions.

The workshop is free and open to all but seating is reserved and limited. Registration is required at Evantbrite: http://bit.ly/14BwCqg. You can also contact Jeanne Rhodes at the Center for Entrepreneurship, 314-977-3850 or rhodesja@slu.edu.
